"Hmm, what's wrong?"
Xu Shi pretended not to understand.
"Then... you won't be coming here often anymore, right?"
As the car drew closer to the inspection bureau, Tang Shuang could only hope that the road would be longer.
"Look at what you're saying, it's not like it's a matter of life and death."
Xu Shi was both amused and exasperated. "Can't I come if I don't do community service? If not, come find me. The governor has given the order, and no one dares to disobey."
"I was looking for you?"
Tang Shuang blinked and tentatively asked, "Won't the others be unhappy?"
How will you know if you don't try?
"Forget it, just have a little bit of conscience."
Tang Shuang sighed. Actually, she was quite carefree in this regard, lingering but not greedy. "Besides, it's okay if you don't come. I have some in stock."
As she spoke, she waved her communication bracelet.
"...When did you take this picture?"
Xu Shi was shocked to see that the room was full of his own photos.
"I took this secretly. It wasn't for nothing that I made you change clothes every day these past few days."
Tang Shuang smiled shyly. The only good thing about the Inspection Bureau was the variety of uniforms. Apart from winter coats, she had Xu Shi change into almost every kind of uniform.
This might be what they mean by "no more than eight sets of everyday clothes for all four seasons." (doge)
I feel like I'm being taken advantage of.
Xu Shi feigned regret and said, "I should have kept a few for you as souvenirs too."
"Hehe, no chance."
Tang Shuang stuck out her tongue. "I'll be officially stepping down next week, so wearing this anymore won't be in accordance with the rules."
"But... if you want to see it, come find me. I'll wear it for you, and only you can see it."
"You've become the older sister again?"
Xu Shi glared at her, and his groping hands began to wander.
"Get your dirty hands off me, are you trying to get yourself killed?"
Tang Shuang, though saying one thing but meaning another, said, "Don't move... How about I treat you to a meal later? It'll be a reward for your excellent performance these past few days?"
"I'll leave this on credit for now."
Xu Shi shook his head. "I already have plans for tonight."
"Oh? With whom?"
I won't tell you.
"Say it or don't, it's up to you."
Tang Shuang snorted, and the car stopped right in front of the inspection bureau. "If you don't want to eat, then get out of here. Who wants to keep you here?"
This also gives her time to plan how to "borrow" this philandering bad man to the Inspection Bureau next time—oh no, next time it could be the City Hall.
She was about to return to the city hall to organize the documents she had just received, and after a reluctant departure, she left.
Poor Chairman Xu could only watch her leave, shaking his head with a sense of lingering regret.
Then.
He casually walked to a corner and pulled out Director Su, who was hiding in the shadows.
"Young Master?"
Su Lin was clearly surprised that he had found her so accurately, and was momentarily taken aback. "You..."
"What do you mean, 'you'?"
Xu Shi looked at him with an accusatory expression, "What are you planning to do by following me these past few days?"
The daily routine is almost over, and the new main storyline will soon begin.
